| Abstract: | The article looks at the impact of the gateway location of national parks. This paper uses two examples from the Netherlands as a case study on visitor management to show how to balance visitor demands and environmental protection objectives. The findings draw mainly upon mechanical traffic counts and visitor surveys. The paper identifies a set of gateway related factors that can influence visitors' behavior. |
